THE FORTY NINER
Activities center around The Forty Niner, which looks like an old-fashioned saloon, is complete with a rock fireplace, a can-can stage, an antique bar and round tables. This space is perfect for meetings, small receptions and kick-up-your-heels parties!
LIGHTED TENNIS COURT
Our tennis court is regulation size, features basketball hoops too, and is lighted for night-time use. It is a common area shared by all groups, if more than one are present on the same weekend. Serves as a great outdoor meeting or activity place, as it is located in the heart of camp.
THE GRUBSTAKE
Wait until you sit down to breakfast, lunch or dinner to taste some of the best down-home cooking this side of the Mississippi — Texas style! Our dining hall (The Grubstake) and our kitchen staff (the Cookies) cannot be out-done. Meals are prepared with love and care and are always served in hearty portions — no one leaves hungry!
SWIMMING POOL
Our beautiful hilltop swimming pool is 30 x 55 feet, large enough to accommodate group activities. Built on the bluff overlooking the Blanco River, it is also flanked by limestone amphitheater-style seating, making it an picturesque setting for presentations, or just soaking up some sun. Lifeguards must be hired for your group with advanced notice.
CLIMBING WALL
Our Climbing Wall is 42-feet tall and provides a beautiful view of the beautiful rolling hills. Put on a harness and beat your fear of heights! Operated as a as a challenge-by-choice course (individuals set their own goal and climbing pace).
SCREAMER
Put on a harness and be pulled by your group to the height of your choice, up to 40-feet high! Pull the release cord when you're ready and enjoy an exhilarating swing!

Another favorite camp memory that lives on is the camp songs. I have sung them to my kids when they were babies … and still sing to them to wake them up in the morning ("Good morning to You!"). Last summer my daughter went to camp for the first time (at age 6). She had a great time and is looking forward to going again this summer. She sings camp songs almost daily (I'm ready for her to learn a few new ones other than "Boom Boom, Ain't it Great to be Crazy?" and "I Wish I Were a Little Bar of Soap")!

I loved performing on stage and modeling in the fashion show. I learned how to shoot a bow and arrow, and how to do synchronized swimming. I wrote a 'Snoopy' column for the newspaper. In fact, a lot of the things I loved then are things I still love today.

‒ Shannon McCann Years at camp: 1966-1975

I think camp was very beneficial for my daughter last year. She came home with new experiences that she will never forget. It's something that she is able to share with her friends and schoolmates too. It made a huge impact on her and I hope by going again this year that she continues to grow and mature as a thoughtful young lady.

I love Rocky River Ranch. It was a place I could go and feel accepted for the person I was — not the person I was expected to be. When we passed under that arch, the playing field was leveled and I was free to be myself, or even to reinvent myself! If I could ride, if I could swim, if I could do crafts or even if my only talent was spitting watermelon seeds, I was accepted!

‒ Britany Beever Just Years at camp: 1979-1984, 1987-1988

My summers at RRR were the most special times of my childhood. I have so many great memories that I'll never forget. Thanks to Rocky River, I found my true calling in life … teaching children! And, I fell in love with Wimberley so much, that I live here now!

‒ Mollie Cessac Booth Years at camp: 1979-1991, 1999-2000

Attending RRR is a tradition in my family — aunts, cousins, sisters, and best friends all have great memories that we still talk about today. I am waiting for the summer that my daughter is old enough to attend and experience the same wonderful times that I had. My memories of summers at RRR are so special to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Skeet and Sandy, and all of the staff from every session, for the ten years of summertime bliss!
